A like from me usually implies "I would have boosted this but I don't think it's quite appropriate for the instance I'm on".

You break a window, you pay for it.

Och ännu en deprimerande grej men som förhoppningsvis ger folk den skjuts de behöver

Combating devices can be hard, especially with kids just old enough to use them.
Two small victories over here this week.

1) 10 asked to play with sidewalk chalk, 7 was excited to join in. They asked to bring one walkie talkie, left the other with us, and just went out to play till we used the walkie talkie to call them back in. It was a moment of old tech for the win.

2) The computer helped with this one, but I found some matchstick puzzles online and thought 7 would be into them. I don't think I've seen a box of matches go this far before. I would just read out the equation or put down the pattern and tell them how many matches they could move to solve it. Super old tech for this one.

It's so hard sometimes especially when tech makes these moments easier to fill.

Please share with me your low tech parenting wins.

“the US public needs to know that the routine vaccination of approximately 117 million children from 1994-2023 likely prevented around 508 million lifetime cases of illness, 32 million hospitalizations, and 1 129 000 deaths, at a net savings of $540 billion in direct costs and $2.7 trillion in societal costs” (6/6)

Again I stand by what I said. "I can't believe I even have to talk about these people. That's how ridiculous it s." We have the equivalent of the scientologists running the field of AI with untold amounts of money and power and we're the ones who have to do point by point rebuttals of their eugenicists dreams. https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-commentary/billionaires-psychology-tech-politics-1235358129/

The Man in #Seat61 seems like a relic from a forgotten age of the #Internet.

Seat61.com is a genuinely useful website created by just one guy, a train travel enthusiast who has curated a vast array of information that will help anyone who would like to travel in #Europe by #train

He is not trying to sell you anything and there are no adverts (apart from a few affiliate ids).

His website has won various "best travel website" awards. Notably the last one was in 2012.

@isocat Well, ackchually…

@Mabande Apple didn't invent Liquid Ass. It was available when Apple were still selling the ][+ , and still is (viz my link).

…is what I meant.

@KarlHeinzHasliP Thanks, but the image info is already in the Alt text (which I now see is a bit mangled by autocorrect) :)

@Mabande hu, strange, didn't show up for me... my end problem. Love the screenshot and glad apple is showing its real potential as innovator after all this time though :)

L'égrégore André ꕭꕬ Jun 10

@Mabande reminds me of that one os of theirs that had "there's more to love with every click" as its tagline and... some bad kerning.

@Mabande
I have since found out it was OS X El Capitan, but I can't find a screenshot (only of the fixed text, which is less amusing). Maybe I could dig through the wayback machine...

@Mabande honestly, after seeing the screenshots of macOS “26” I think it’s not far off.
